Inspection Process

We covered a lot of ground!

Every automated inspection project is unique, but the techniques we have studied will constitute the building blocks for most cases. With experience, you’ll learn to assemble these building blocks into an automated inspection pipeline.

You probably noticed that computer vision functions often require parameters in addition to an input image. For example, when we apply a threshold to a grayscale image, we must provide a threshold value. When we cascade multiple operations, the number of parameters grows, and the optimal values can be tricky to find.

In a manufacturing environment, it is common to encounter multiple products sharing some general features but having significant differences. For instance, in a sawmill, we might be tasked with designing an automated inspection system for ...
